This offering is a fine pair of menuki featuring a monkey riding a horse on one and the other looks to be a monkey chasing a horse, attempting to mount. There looks to be just a bit of smoothing in a tiny spot of one horse's leg. Other then that condition is terrific and detail is fine right down to the horses' abumi and even the braiding on the harnesses.

This offering is a finely made basket, I believe it is Papago. It has a unique star shaped rim woven into place at five points. No noticable damage, but does show its age. Maximum width including the rim is just under 15cm, not including the rim it is 12cm. A basket with character.

This offering is a very tasteful Japanese bud vase featuring three characters in kimono. It measures a little under 4 inches. For whatever reason, the signature is blackened making it hard to make out.

This offering is a Prussian medal commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kaiser Wilhelm I. It is dated 1897 and lists his birth date as March 22, 1797. It is an attractive and solid medal, showing him in his spiked helmet.

This patch is for a WWII German mountain troop. Excellent condition, probably unissued, it features an eidelweis flower on black background. The eidelweis has long been the symbol for German mountain troops.

This is the soft cover first edition from 1979. Written by the highly respected Thomas M. Johnson, this is one of the early collecting classics and is a nice, small size for carrying with you. It is in very good shape with minor age showing. A hard to find book.

War merit 1st Class with issued box. Silvered zinc variety. As is normally the case the finish is mostly worn off. This type of metal didn't hold the silvering very well and even when properly stored it tends to come off over the years. The issue box is very nice except the hinge, which is actually a leatherette tape, is seperated (but still held on by the fabric on the right half). As most collectors know, the boxes are far more scarce then the medal. The medal is hallmarked with a "3" in a box...

WWII Japanese invasion currency. Printed to assist in the running of annexed territories or territories they hoped to annex. We have sheets for the pesos (Philippines), dollars (Malaya), rupees (India) and pesos for Philippino guerilla currency which is actually rather scarce. Please first call for availability as these actually do sell rather quickly when mounted like this.

Elastolin soldiers. American band set of 7. Condition is excellent with no damage of significance and paint is almost perfect. These damage easily and are usually much more worn then this offering as they were originally toys meant to be played with.

Steel army buckle with maker marked tab. Buckle shows age but still has nice detail. Leather tab is worn but still soft, supple and strong with stitching intact. Maker is hard to read but date is 1940.

Small size Native American rug. I believe this is Navajo but I am not an expert (Oppinions are most welcome). 14x30 inch (not including fringe) makes it a lovely size for a backdrop in a display. Very pleasing color scheme and good condition. One small area of staining (see photos). This may clean out but I won't try. No damage that I can find. Someone will be happy with this one.

Second model DRL Badge. Front shows wonderfully with no wear and pleasing toning. Reverse shows a reworked pin and it is priced accordingly. Marked "D.R.G.M. 35269 WERNSTEIN JENA". Despite repair, a very good badge for display as the front is very attractive.

Fresh from my last visit is this WWII era Japanese red cross medal. Highly patinated and some oxidation, this is an honest medal for someone who likes the "been there" look. Original ribbon has some "stuff" on it that could scrape off but my hard rule is that I do not do anything to my items. Good piece to add to a display.

Early photo album (Dated 1934-1935) for a motorized unit termed Kraftfahr. As it is well before significant military build up, the vehicles are not very impressive, although there are some decent motorcycle photos. Album is most notable in its condition. The only appreciable damage I can find is a minor tear to one of the waxpaper page dividers. Also, on the inside cover there is some juvenile grafiti which is certainly German in origin and old in flavor (see photo). If I were to guess I would s...

Very interesting Imperial German matchbox cover. Designed like a Prussian belt buckle this has a nice look to it. Structurally in good shape with attractive age wear and patina; Has the "been there" look.

Respectable German army single decal helmet. Shell shows wear to period green overpaint. Original grey is peeking through outside and inside is buttery smooth. Decent liner, no chinstrap. Original decal worn s shown.

Photograph negative of Hitler of unknown age. This cam with a few others and I am honestly a bit puzzled. It has definite age but I have a weak understanding of photography so I can offer few details. It has a textured surface on what feels like a steel plate. The reverse has writeen "Adolf Hitler". Condition is overall good.

Extremely interesting example of an Imperial German Bavarian belt buckle. Nice two piece brass frame with silver Prussian crown disc. Sides and reverse show a most interesting mechanism that I honestly can't exactly figure out; It looks like some sort of a friction type fit. Middle tab is marked DRGM 172088. Really a most unique buckle which would look good in even an advanced collection.

Beautifully embroidered pennant or small banner for the 1933 Deutsches Turnfest Stuttgart 1933. 71x11.5cm not icluding metal suspension device. Pennant is very clean and embroidery is strong throughout except for some wear to the oak leaves (see photo). Interesting to see a swaztica on something this early. I believe the handsome horse is the symbol of the city of Stuttgart which is the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg in Southern Germany. A very attractive pennant.

Really neat small metal plate with Hitler and Mussolini. Above their busts is "VINCERE", and below is a nice looking eagle clutching a swaz and a fasces. There is a maker mark in lower left hand corner and a date that I can't read. I am not sure exactly what this plate was for but it certainly is interesting. Unfortunately, whoever pulled it off of whatever it was on was a butcher and the bottom fixture hole was ripped open and the plate has a bend in the middle. Measures 6x4 cm.

From the estate of a friend who was an avid autograph collector. Short personal letter signed by Franz Halder who was in command of OKW until (I believe) 1942. LOetter is dated July 1970 and seems to be a reply to a request for signed photos and a return of one dollar which accompanied the request. Franz Halder passed away in 1972 in the Bavarian town from which this letter was sent; Aschau. Letter is folded in half (Below text and signature) with some chipping to top of document.
